You get <Signature xmlns="http://...."/> thus the element *has* correct
namespace. The namespace prefix does not matter at all and using
<XXX> instead of <dsig:XXX> saves 5 bytes per element. Not much but
still good :)
Currently xmlsec has no way of changing the prefix and I just don't know
why one can need it,
